CONTINENTAL Tubular Competition Tubular 700C x 22 road tyre Black, 700C x 22

The ideal combination of comfort, puncture protection and low rolling resistance Perfect all-rounder with ProTour-proven construction Excellent puncture protection thanks to Vectran puncture protection insert Excellent grip, high mileage and efficient rolling thanks to BlackChili Compound BlackChili: - A new relationship between grip and rolling resistance This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in our German factory has revolutionised bicycle tyres. BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26 % and provides 30 % more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tyres with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant ride from the first to the last kilometre. Vectran: - The benchmark in puncture protection: Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran? is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran? has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran? Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
